Tuning Key problems

[JimiHWannaBe]

I have an Agile-3000 and i love the guitar but the thing wont stay in tune for like 5 minutes and its really pissing me off. Has anyone had this problem on an Agile and how can i fix it? Im about to go out and buy a set of sperzels. Is there anyway i can fix this problem?

Re: Tuning Key problems

Have you tryed stretching the strings really well first and retuning?
After that,try some better brand strings...
If all else fails,tuners would help...

Re: Tuning Key problems

the strings i have on it are GHS not what i normally use but theyve been on it for about 2 weeks. but i had this same problem on my agile acoustic with the same grover tuners and i put elixirs on that and it still dosent stay in tune well. could the tuners just be installed very poorly?

try lubricating the nut slots before you go replacing anything. my artist never used to stay in tune, and one day i just got fed up with it and tried the ol' "graphite from a pencil" trick. to my surprise, it works well. in case you don't know what i'm talking about, just take a no. 2 pencil and sort of color in the inside of the slot for each string.

for some reason in my experience brand new elixirs have always been quick to go out of tune.........on my mandolin, my bass, and my friends guitar.

Do the tuners have an adjustment screw on them? If so, tighten them :wink:

I like the Sperzels on my Nitefly.
